Create an animated gif from a Youtube video
mplayer video.flv -ss 00:23 -endpos 6 -vo gif89a:fps=5:output=output.gif -vf scale=400:300 -nosound
generates a 6 second gif starting at 23 seconds of play time at 5 fps and a scale of 400x300
start time (-ss)/end time (-endpos) formats: 00:00:00.000
end time should be relative to start time, not absolute. i.e. -endpos 5 == seconds after 0:42 = 0:47 end point
play with fps and scale for lower gif sizes
the subshell is a solution for the -b flag on youtube-dl which downloads the best quality video, sometimes, which can be various video formats $(ls ${url##*=}*| tail -n1)

Creates a better looking gif than the original post via imagemagick processing high quality jpgs, rather than converting directly to gif from the video itself.
